Radio yenta Dr. Laura Schlessinger has come under fire from a powerful gay-rights group – just as Paramount TV has begun shopping her Fall 2000 show around the country.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has launched an all-out war against Dr. Laura, charging that she’s used her nationally syndicated radio show – heard here on WABC (770 AM) – to rail against gays, lesbians and bisexuals.

“Our goal here is to do whatever we can to insure that Dr. Laura’s words are tamed when she goes to TV,” said Joan Garry, GLAAD’s Executive Director. “We are continuing to educate Paramount as to the kinds of things she’s been saying.”

Garry said that Dr. Laura recently told her in a private, face-to-face meeting that homosexuals are “biological mistakes.”

“She is impervious to change,” Garry said. “She is a woman who prides herself on having a strong point-of-view – but the point-of-view she has on homosexuality is a dangerous one.”

“We don’t know what more we can do,” said Keven Bellows, a spokesperson for Dr. Laura. “In [GLAAD] materials that have come to me, Dr. Laura’s position has been seriously misrepresented.

“They talk about the fact that [Dr. Laura] said on the air that homosexuals are biological errors,” Bellows said. “What she said is that sexual orientation is the error that deviates from heterosexuality. What she was talking about was really the biology of the issue.”
